if you take the original equation, it's in y equals mx +b form so y intercept is 3 and the slope is negative 3. the inverse equation is when you put x in for y and vise versa. so x equals -3y +3. then solve for y and graph the new y =mx+b equation.

Answer:

The graph both functions in the attached figure

Explanation:

we have


f(x)=-3x+3

Find the inverse of f(x)

Let


y=f(x)


y=-3x+3

Exchange the variables x for y and y for x


x=-3y+3

Isolate the variable y


3y=-x+3


y=-(1)/(3)x+1

Let


f^(-1)(x)=y


f^(-1)(x)=-(1)/(3)x+1 -----> inverse function

To graph the functions find the intercepts

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

For
f(x)=-3x+3

The y-intercept is the point
(0,3)

The x-intercept is the point
(1,0)

For
f^(-1)(x)=-(1)/(3)x+1

The y-intercept is the point
(0,1)

The x-intercept is the point
(3,0)

plot the intercepts both functions to graph the linear equations

see the attached figure
